How to allow conditional logic for approval process actions?
Allow conditional logic for approval process actions, or allow us to set actions that get executed if an approval process step is skipped due to entry criteria.

When does a field update happen in process builder?
If you are doing a field update inside of a workflow that field update does not happen until after all the workflow criterias and process builder actions take place.
